Finally it's the Fridailies

Good Friday morning all! I wish I could say that I'm starting the thread because I'm super motivated to get the day started, but unfortunately, just when I think I have the sleep thing in a good place WHAM nasty insomnia episode (stress driven, I'm sure). I'm not even sure how long I've been up. However, I will channel this into a run this morning (possibly 10 if I can muster it).

Who's racing this weekend? And who has really fun plans to share?

Hope everyone has a great start to the day and is ready for the weekend!!

Good morning and Happy Friday, all! And a Happy Mother's Day weekend to all you marvelous moms out there.

Typical Friday here as I get ready to head to the gym for some miles, weights, core work and swimming. Managed to sneak in a yoga class last night which I thought would help my back however think it hurts more this morning....but in that good stretchy/lengthening way, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Hoping to catch dinner with my Little Sis tonight and then some catching up with friends for dinner, running and chores on tap for the weekend. Wishing I could see my mom but will be spending time with her in July.

No races on tap for me. Best wishes to those of you who will be out there getting after it! I know Jennifer has a tri on tap. Anyone else?

Suzanne - Terribly sorry for the insomnia. Hope a good run helps relieve some of the stress and makes for a better day today and night's sleep tonight.

Bobby - Hope DW had a wonderful birthday and you all enjoyed the day/evening!

Matt - How is everything going with the closing, etc?? Hopefully all is well! And if you posted this information at some point yesterday, my apologies...I have not gone back to check

Lisa - Hope Bobby is doing better and you get nice weather for your party.

Cassie - Great to see you feeling so good and out walking already! You are amazing. Your family is adorable.

Elizabeth - Hope you were able to get in a great tempo run yesterday and track workout today - and that little G is feeling better.

Must get myself ready to head out the door.....Hope the rest of you have a Fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend! And please be careful out there.

Going running with Mikey Beanz this a.m. We will be running the first 5 miles next week's Brooklyn Half Marathon. It's Mikey's second half marathon. The course is lovely....start is near the Brooklyn Museum/Botanical Gardens and goes around Grand Army Plaza through Prospect Park and down Ocean Parkway where the finish is smack in the middle of Coney Island.

TGIF! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Rest day for me today as I'd like to run both Sat and Sun. Cookout with mom on Sunday!! Can't wait! Happy Mother's Day weekend to all the awesome moms on this board!

Suz- early! Hope this day goes by quickly for you and that you sleep well tonight!

Blitzy- enjoy those workouts, and the dinner with LS and friend! Fun Friday! Hope your back feels better soon!

A quick good morning to all. Work has been busy lately so I haven't had a chance to stop in during the day and my computer stopped connecting to the internet at my dad's house. So that's awesome. Mileage this week is low... the rain isn't helping, but we're also busy getting ready for lots of stuff. Brother in law graduates from college and commissions into the army this weekend. We got him a really fancy expensive watch... nicer than any of the watches I have.

Driving to central PA tonight with DW and might be towing along one of her uncles if he can make it.

Woke up too late for XT today, so going to switch it out for a couple of miles on the trail at lunch. Meeting up with a buddy from Texas this evening for a few miles in Central Park as well. We'll call that doubles.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on here. I will be giving the DW the day off so my running Sunday will have to be before she wakes up for breakfast in bed.

Morning! SRD today. Not feeling the need for one but just in case, LOL. 10K race tomorrow for the benefit of the ALS (Lou Gherig's Disease) foundation, but just for fun. Last year I had two (count them, 2!) asthma attacks during the race, so this year I'm shooting for zero. LOL.

After weeks of no or intermittent interest, we should be making the switch to AT&T U-Verse and I'm hoping it works! DH's knee was hurting yesterday so we bagged his run at 0.10 of it. Better to be safe!

JCD, sorry you missed the cross training. Enjoy the miles later.

Matt, how's the landlord situation going?

Doody, I have been waiting for Friday since I got home from PR! Enjoy the runs and the cookout with mom.

It's official.... I'm running MCM again this year! Just joined the United Against Lung Cancer team, at the recommendation of LD, who is concerned about his grandparents' health. I'm on the 26-week training plan.....for slow learners

Suz - I hope your brain gets a little break in there somewhere today, or this weekend. My weekend excitement will be baking a decorating a cake for my mom's b'day.

Alice - glad to hear that the back soreness is the good kind. I was concerned there for a moment.

Diz - working from home again today?

Bobby - what are Mad Men?

Jen - enjoy the heck out of your rest day Friday!!

Matt - so, when are we all invited over to the new place??

JCD - that is so sweet of you to pamper DW. Thanks for the mother's day wishes

Damaris - here's hoping for a successul run tomorrow (aka - one where you can breathe)

Damaris - Situation is what I expected. Kelly's been GREAT to work with, though. She's proofing a draft of a letter she wrote and I edited. Hoping to get back the whole security deposit.

Patti - Glad you're running again! That's SO exciting! We're talking about an open house late summer... we have some work to do first. Oh... and we need to settle still... Wednesday can't come soon enough.

Morning, folks! The Urban Scramble last night was a hoot, although we didn't with anything. Was up far too late, so I couldn't make it to BoMF. I need to make it next week or I'll be really upset with myself. Still got up and got in a 6.2 mile run, some squats, and a plank.

Suz- Hoping you can get some better sleep tonight!! Safe travels!

Blitzy- I hope dinner with your LS goes well. That back needs to get all better asap!

Diz- Ooh, thanks for canceling running.

Bobby- I just had a friend ask me to do the Brooklyn Half with him. I wish logistically it would work, but a Saturday AM race is too much. I got all excited, though. Man, that meal sounds good, too!

Jenn- Sounds like an awesome weekend planned! Enjoy!

Matt- Awesome weekend coming up! Have fun!

JCDR- Enjoy the trail miles!

DR- I hope this race is asthma-attack free!

Pinkie- So sad that I won't be able to see you at MCM this year, but I am so excited for you!

I have a concert tonight with a friend. It's going to be a dance-filled occasion, so I'm so excited. I won't be getting much sleep this weekend, but I figure that I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Damaris - Situation is what I expected. Kelly's been GREAT to work with, though. She's proofing a draft of a letter she wrote and I edited. Hoping to get back the whole security deposit.

Patti - Glad you're running again! That's SO exciting! We're talking about an open house late summer... we have some work to do first. Oh... and we need to settle still... Wednesday can't come soon enough.

16.2 miles this morning which included the first 7 miles of the Bklyn Half. What a day, 72 deg. sunny - magnificent....finally!

RunDoody - Enjoy the RD

Matt - Good luck to your brother in law.

JCDawn - Have a great run in one of the most beautiful parks on this planet.

Docket - Enjoy the SRD and have fun on the fun run tmw

Pink - YaY!! So happy you're running MCM. Mad Men is a show on AMC about the advertising industry in the 50s and 60s. First couple of seasons are just as I remembered it. Pure male chauvinism, martinis at work, and a lot of great creative work.

Hey, gang!! Been lurking and not posting this week. Been helping DW get everything in place for our pseudo-taper week as we head toward the 10K next Saturday. Gonna spend the day in the woods tomorrow building a fort with LRD. Long run planned for Sunday then the madness begins.

Quick post - we're doing a 'Diez de Mayo' potluck lunch today !!! More bike 'window shopping' in Boulder manana ... weather should be perfect for Sunday's race & will be doing 'girls day out' in the afternoon with friends - should be a fun day !!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms in our forum family (and to the moms who raised such exceptional women!!) .... good luck to Jennifer & anyone else racing ... be safe !!!
